PDF to Word

I have converted a few pdf documents to word and notice the document gets uploaded somewhere ( paid app for android) the document is then downloaded in word format.

For some reason my printer will print word documents but not pdf hence the need to convert them.

My question is, how secure is it converting documents in this way ? Whilst I have never needed to convert anything containing personal information it is possible in the future I might need to do so, ie Energy bill.

Re: PDF to Word

Why does the document need to be uploaded somewhere? It may be suspicious, or the fact it can't be converted on your phone locally I guess.

Also I don't understand why your printer will work with Word and not PDF's (say Adobe reader), I would try and get that problem sorted, to stop you the hassle of converting manually (as @wisty said) and worrying about security.

Post some more detail of your setup and I am sure someone here can help.

Microsoft word documents and all other stuff print ok using the brother app for this printer, the app gives you the usual range of choices from where to print such as email, documents, web page etc but if I download a pdf file and then try to print it I get a message that the format is not supported ?

Re: PDF to Word

Yes Acrobat would do it but just one snag you have to pay monthly for it, I have no problem paying a few pounds for a app but only as a one off payment rather than pay monthly even though the cost is very low but thanks for the suggestion.

One thing that might be causing the issue is that I keep getting a message about samsung printer app download, clearly I do not want that but getting rid of some Samsung apps is not that straight forward
